In this paper we introduce various notions of continuous fuzzy proper functions by using the existing notions of fuzzy closure and fuzzy interior operators like Rτ -closure, Rτ -interior, etc., and present all possible relations among these types of continuities. Next, we introduce the concepts of α-quasi-coincidence, qα r -pre-neighborhood, qα r -pre-closure and qα r pre-continuous function in...

The primary objective of the current study is to produce karstification potentiality maps in northeast of Khuzestan province, Iran, using both fuzzy logic and AHP models as an additional tool in hydrogeological research. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) are used to create two maps depicting the development of the karstification, consisting of five classes, showing th...

Social network data has been modeled with several approaches, including Sociogram and Sociomatrices, which are popular and comprehensive. Similar to these we have developed here a novel modeling technique based on granular computing theory and fuzzy neighborhood systems, which provides a uniform framework to represent social networks. In this model, a social network is represented with a collec...

Accurate and robust estimation of applied forces in Robotic-Assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery is a very challenging task. Many vision-based solutions attempt to estimate the force by measuring the surface deformation after contacting the surgical tool. However, visual uncertainty, due to tool occlusion, is a major concern and can highly affect the results’ precision. In this paper, a novel de...

Fuzzy methods in remote sensing have received growing interest for their particular value in situations where the geographical phenomena are inherently fuzzy. A fuzzy approach is investigated for the classi® cation of sub-urban land cover from remote sensing imagery and the evaluation of classi® cation accuracy. Under the fuzzy strategy, fuzziness, intrinsic to both remotely sensed data and gro...

given a mapping $f:xto x$ we naturally associate to it a monotonic map $gg_f:exp xto exp x$ from the power set of $x$ into itself, thus inducing a generalized topology on $x$. in this paper we investigate some properties of generalized topologies which are defined by such a procedure.

In this work we design two versions of a local neighborhood search algorithm. These versions are customized for a system operational parameter calibration task. The first and second methods perform complete and incomplete probabilistic neighborhood searches, respectively. The domain of application of the method is that of hand gesture control of telerobotic systems. The primary need for recalib...

In this paper, we propose a system for contextual and semantic Arabic documents classification by improving the standard fuzzy model. Indeed, promoting neighborhood semantic terms that seems absent in this model by using a radial basis modeling. In order to identify the relevant documents to the query. This approach calculates the similarity between related terms by determining the relevance of...

The aim of this paper has twofold: i) to explore the fundamental concepts and methods of neighborhood-based cluster analysis with its roots in statistics and decision theory, ii) to provide a compact tool for researchers. Since DBSCAN is the first method which uses the concept of neighborhood and it has many successors, we started our discussion by exploring it. Then we compared some of the suc...

Rapid urbanization has accelerated land use and land cover changes, and generated the urban heat island effect (UHI). Previous studies have reported positive effects of neighborhood landscapes on mitigating urban surface temperatures. However, the influence of neighborhood landscape spatial patterns on enhancing cooling effects has not yet been fully investigated. The main objective of this stu...
